Basic methods of Radiation Protection consist of three strategies Time, Distance, and Shielding. These three methods have been widely used till now to reduce exposure of exposure to individuals, and public. The basic are explained briefly below.

Points to do minimize exposure:

The time consuming in some potential situations can be reduce by executing the pre-planned situations and works.

In Emergency situations the work can be shared by group of people who are eligible to do that work. In this way also exposure will be reduce.

Shielding:

Perhaps to time and distance, shielding is significant one in achieving the radiation protection. Though, time and distance could be factor it is not possible to give enough distance and it is also not practical phenomenon. So, that adequate shielding is required to protect against radiation.

The thickness of the shielding material could vary for different materials. Most common materials used for shielding purpose are listed below.
